    Just hosted my 3rd party in 3 years with Cheat A Little. Fantastic staff and easy as always! Everyone always compliments the food, and my wife and I have almost nothing to do after party over.

    Michi's Catering was one of the best vendors we worked with for our wedding. From beginning to end,…read morethey were incredibly responsive, accommodating, professional, and just an absolute pleasure to work with. From our very first tasting, I could not stop talking about how good the food at our wedding was going to be. That's how excited I was. The food was INSANE. The tasting itself was also such a lovely experience--they made everything feel so personal and were genuinely so sweet and welcoming. I left the tasting already knowing our guests were going to be well fed. And somehow, the food at the actual wedding was just as amazing. Michi and his team, Raphael and Michael, were outstanding. They were so professional and attentive, and you could tell how much pride they take in what they do. Michi himself is also just the sweetest. He made our guests feel so welcomed and taken care of, and his team even made sure my husband and I had plates of food so we actually got to eat at our own wedding--which we appreciated SO much. The FOOD. I cannot say enough about it. Everything was absolutely delicious, and our guests were raving about it. Wedding food can sometimes feel like an afterthought, but that was absolutely not the case with Michi. It was genuinely one of the highlights of our wedding. Their presentation is also phenomenal. They have such an eye for making everything look beautiful and aesthetic. It wasn't just catering--it felt like another part of the overall design of our wedding. Everything looked intentional, elevated, and just as good as it tasted. I also LOVE their business model. Instead of nickel-and-diming you or charging per piece like so many other caterers, they have a per-person pricing structure that made everything feel so much easier. Our guests could actually EAT, everyone was happy and full, and we never felt like we had to worry about whether there would be enough food. Michi's is worth EVERY PENNY. The combination of incredible food, beautiful presentation, professionalism, and genuinely amazing service is so hard to beat. I truly cannot say enough good things about Michi and his entire team. If they had a restaurant, I would literally be there all the time. That is how good their food is. If you're considering Michi's Catering for your wedding or event, BOOK THEM. Your guests will be fed, happy, and talking about the food afterward. Thank you Michi, Raphael, Michael, and the entire team for taking such amazing care of us and our guests. You guys are phenomenal.

    We had a great experience with the whole Michi's Life team while looking for our wedding caterer…read more Everyone was incredibly professional, responsive, and generous throughout the whole process, and the food was both delicious and beautifully presented. What stood out most were all the thoughtful personal touches. They made an exception to host all four of us for the tasting (when normally they just allow 2) and even prepared a special yuzu salmon for us as those were our favorites. You can really tell how much care and creativity Raphael, Mike, Michi, and the whole family put into what they do. We ultimately went with another caterer that was a closer fit for the specific dinner experience we had in mind, but we came away extremely impressed with Michi's Life and were treated like family. Would absolutely recommend them and would happily consider them for another event in the future!

    We had a mediocre experience with The Market catering…read more We struggled to get in touch with them to place our initial order for a small event. We sent multiple messages and voicemails that went unreturned for several days. Just as we were getting ready to change plans and look for a different vendor, we heard back (they had been out on vacation). We decided to still give them a try. (Note: the owner response below suggests that they responded within 24 hours, but that doesn't match our experience - I think this misunderstanding is due to the fact that two of us coordinating the event had reached out to the Market . My initial inquiry submitted on their website went unanswered, and so a couple days later my colleague tried to call and left a voicemail. Eventually my colleague was able to connect with them to place an order. I actually never received any response by phone or email.) The food arrived on time, but the delivery team forgot part of our order. We tried calling both of numbers on the invoice associated with the Market, but they both went right to voicemail. We eventually got a hold of the delivery team and received our missing item halfway through our event. The portions we received were very small compared to the description. For example, "32 tea sandwiches" seems like 4-5 normal sandwiches sliced into 6ths - wild to pay $2.25 for each tiny sandwich slice. The quality of the ingredients seemed mediocre for the price (e.g. the bread seemed like basic bagged sandwich bread, sliced into uneven rectangles). The chicken skewers - the most expensive item we got - were surprisingly small. "Watermelon feta skewers bites" were about a third green olives (not listed in the description) which our guests found unappetizing - we would not have ordered this item if that ingredient had been disclosed. Salad was 99% plain mixed greens (the amount we received runs about $6.99 retail for organic mix at a specialty store). On the whole, most things seemed like we could have gotten similar-or-better quality items for a quarter of the price through Whole Foods. The plating for items was nothing special - again, supermarket take-away platters look about the same. It's really hard to justify the price we paid for the items we received. All in all, we found the service, food quality, and presentation to be unimpressive and overpriced, and the communication/delivery snafus made our event prep more stressful. Perhaps we caught them on an off day, but we were expecting more given the glowing Yelp reviews. Based on the experience we had, we'd recommend working with a different caterer.

    I have nothing but great things to say about THE MARKET at Edgewood Catering. GREAT FOOD ALL AROUND…read more(HIGH QUALITY)! FANTASTIC CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM BEGINNING TO THE END. Paola has been FANTASTIC to work with. She accommodated all my request and she UNDERSTANDS EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. She's thorough and captured all the details. The DELIVERY WAS SMOOTH and the person was very courteous. He made sure that I received every single item that I ordered and EVERYTHING WENT SMOOTHLY.

The owner was communicative via text and E-mail. Pick up was from a ghost kitchen.

At $6.25 per piece of sushi, the price was similar to nice sushi restaurants. I probably would not order from here frequently, but only as a special treat.

I preordered a deluxe platter ($450) which comes with 60 assorted nigiri for pickup on a holiday Monday around 1:30pm. Ordering via their form online was simple and easy and I received plenty of communication leading up to the pickup on where/when to pickup and who to contact for any changes or concerns. The pickup spot in San Mateo is a ghost kitchen setup, and parking was a little difficult (I got dropped off while my ride circled around). Once inside, there are a few tablets as well as doorbells labeled with different businesses. I pressed the one labeled for the backhouse and got our order at the door after waiting for a few minutes - there do also seem to be a lot of people picking up delivery service orders and generally seems to be confusing for the other businesses in the same space but I was able to get in and out pretty quickly. Onto the sushi - everything was delicious and they were kind enough to give us 3 of everything as I had requested to make it easier to split between our party of 3 which I really appreciate. The rice was nicely seasoned and not over or undercooked, and the standout has to be the uni. I really liked the asortment of fish/topping combinations and felt like there was a good mix of unique offerings and classics but the one thing I wished we had was some kind of guide or lost of what the fish we had were so I could better appreciate what I was eating. Overall, I'm glad I finally got to try the Backhouse and it was definitely tasty and a convenient way to enjoy some really high quality fish, but I think personally I prefer having the fish in a way where I can know more about what I'm eating to really enjoy the meal :)
